VAX 1814, VS 2010 RC.
Opening my wxs-files (from Windows Installer XML) the listbox is not shown when pressing space inside the xml tags. Disabling VAX "fixes" the problem. |

Apologies for the delay in looking at this.
I have now installed WIX, and there is no sign of it at all in VS2010 RC. It is showing up in VS2008 however.
I have made a new default solution, and VA is not active in the .WXS file that is created. I fixed this by adding .wxs to the list of extensions for XML in the registry, as described in this FAQ entry:
http://docs.wholetomato.com?W353
OFIW support, are you talking about inside WIX solutions, or these files inside normal solution types? For me OFIW just says "Parsing..." on the title bar, which suggests that VA does not know about / understand this project type.
I have emailed you about this. |

Sorry for not being accurate. WIX is an XML-based MSI creator. You can find it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wix/
And a tutorial here if you're interested:
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/
You ought to support this stuff. A LOT of deployment MSIs are created using WIX! |

WIX deals with xml-files with the following extensions:
wxs
wxi
wxl
The XML files are 100% correct, using this schema:
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi">
Problem #2
These files are not seen in the OFIW dialog!! |

How do I create one of these files?
I tried creating a new "Visual Studio Installer -> Setup Project" project in VS2010, but this did not produce any sign of any XML files.
I have tried renaming an existing XML file to .wxs, which I am guessing is the correct extension, but I never see listboxes with VA enabled or disabled. I assume because the XML file is invalid. Also I don't know if this is the correct extension, your thread title says "wix" while the post says "wxs".
For now have you tried adding the problem file extension to:
VA Options -> Projects -> File Handling -> Extensions to ignore
